CHRISTIAN HOUSE OF PRAYER - CLEVELAND

WE, THE CHRISTIAN HOUSE OF PRAYER CLEVELAND, BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE PLUS NOTHING ELSE. WE BELIEVE THAT, GOD HAS EVERYTHING WE NEED IN THE WORD. GOD’S WORD EXPRESSES HIS VERY THOUGHTS, HIS VERY CHARACTER, HIS PLANS AND PURPOSE CONCERNING US.

 

We do, however, have a doctrine. This doctrine is not from man, nor is it man’s interpretation, but the doctrine that Jesus Christ gave for His church (all churches) to follow. It is called the Doctrine of Christ, or the first principles of the Oracles of God as found in Hebrews 6:1-2.

 

We believe that it was God’s intention for His church to know this doctrine.

 

Hebrews 5:12 says, “For  when the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God…’

 

In the above scripture passage, it is saying that before you can teach someone the Word of God, you need someone to teach you this doctrine.

 

Hebrews 6:1-2 says, Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms and laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.”
